And they were inspired by the Zoramites and the Amalekites, who were their chief captains and leaders, and by
Zerahemnah, who was their chief captain, or their chief leader and
commander; yea, they did fight like dragons, and many of the Nephites
were slain by their hands,
yea, for they did smite in two many of their head-plates, and they did
pierce many of their breastplates, and they did smite off many of their
arms; and thus the Lamanites did smite in their fierce anger.

And they were doing that which they felt was the duty which they owed to
their God; for the Lord had said unto them, and also unto their
fathers, that: Inasmuch as ye are not guilty of the first offense,
neither the second, ye shall not suffer yourselves to be slain by the hands of your enemies.
